Who do you think is very American looking?

Mary Tyler more could have been nothing but American.

Julia Roberts

Cheryl Tiegs, Chris Pratt

Everything unnatural: the teeth, the straightened hair, the tan, the muscles, circumcised cocks, the noses, the lips, the breasts, the ubiquitous implants, the non-existent pubes. Must be exhausting to do all these and still 250 lbs.

PS. Robert Redford

Jane Fonda

African American looks differ markedly to native African it seems. Is that a fair observation? Intermixing since slavery?

Also - as a related aside? - I love watching Olympic athlete's parades. The North Americans - Canadian and USA collective teams have a definite 'look' of physical vigour and marked affluence somehow that differs from other nations. PLUS unlike other huge team nations (see China) it's nice to see the racial diversity is very obvious compared with many other countries.

I live in Brisbane - accent aside that immediately draws attention to country of origin among tourists - American/Canadians see to have a 'look': men - at least the ones who travel here - always have great teeth and are tall, haircut is most often shaved/Jarhead/crew military style more so than the hipster beard and hair waxed moustache thing. Your women backpacker type or older ones travelling here seems are heavy into cosmetic make-up faces /hair dos even during the every day is my anecdotal take.

Chrissy Metz.

Big fake white teeth. Big fake everything, really.

Aja Naomi King always struck me as a super American looking woman...very pretty but I can’t imagine her from elsewhere. There maybe something to the teeth thing mentioned.

I'm hoping these are non-Americans, cause, damn. it's funny and true.

R7 she looks French.

i love that. we are everything R24

Christie Brinkley

I thought of Elizabeth Montgomery as well.

Jennifer Lawrence is like a good version of all the american turiste i see in our cities. The tourist ones are fatter of course, but that's the mold.

Eez me. Just Amerikan like yoo and yoo. I like sport, and veel chant “Yoo es of ay! Yoo es of ay!” like every other man from apple pie land.

Anyone who looks like a peasant.

These two:

Let’s be honest. Dyed blonde hair (like almost all the women in this post), size 14, implanted boobs, tight, transparent whore clothes, veneers and an expression of absolute idiocy and ignorance. Tiffany Trump is the new all-American girl!

Sorry, biches. These are real Americans.

Eh? Britain and the US have “racial diversity” (frequently relying on black superstars in the Olympics) in great part for very problematic historical reasons. Most of the blacks didn’t just move there on holiday. What did you want China to do - conquer West Africa as well?

R36 China has been working on that for years.

Marlo Thomas?!😁 😂 🤣

Not with her original Lebanese/Italian nose. Daddy Danny was Lebanese and her mom was Italian.

Besides, when people think 'American' they usually think Wasp. Sad but true. Isn't that what Nazi Agent Orange Trump is trying to do, make America a nation filled with blond blue-eyed white people?

Tiffany Trump looks like common porn trash.

Farrah Fawcett

John Sebastian - though now, of course, he'd never appear with (normal) teeth like that.

But BOY! did he lose his voice!

Yet like a lot of these old guys, doesn't seem to realise it.

Tiffany Trump in that pic upthread is so unfortunate looking that it hurts my feelings. In can't help feeling sorry for her, because she's so young to be that ugly. It only gets worse from here. I can't even imagine what plastic surgery could do about it, because there's so much wrong there. It must KILL Donald. That's the only upside.

R37, investing in African business opportunities vs importing Africans are 2 different things.

Tiffany Trump is a prime example of how Trump genetics can really fuck up a kid's looks. Unfortunately for Tiffany her mother's facial construction is simply incompatible with Trump genes. They produced a child that has a look of retardation in her face.

It is interesting that many people’s ideas of a prototypical American look could also double as Hitler youth or extras in the Vikings TV show...when in reality, the US hardly resembles Scandinavia.

(And most of the women who are pictured are blonde, but few of the blondes pictured are natural blondes...)

Who is that in OP’s photo?

This reminds me of the class trip I took to Europe in high school, where the girls on our trip got informed by somebody that they were instantly clockable as American by their huge man feet.

Hilarious how self-concious it made them.

As American as APPLE PIE.

Teeth. Checked shirts. Stonewashed Jeans. All baggy. Baseball caps on the over 60s.

R16 is right. Chris Farley

I'm about as American as they come, hookers.

Ewww @R33! What a mess.

I think of someone like Farah Fawcett whom Americans seem to find stunning, Euros wouldn't really find her all that beautiful, same with Heather Locklear, Euros don't find that look beautiful just American.

R69 that's quite a statement considering how many countries and ethnicities encompass Europe. What do Europeans consider attractive then?

Italians seem to think Farrah Fawcett/Heather Locklear types are beautiful.

whoever mentioned baseball caps wins this thread.

nobody over 10 and younger than 80 would be caught dead with one of those on their head.

and yes, the artificial stuff: bleached blue teeth, tiny/pointy surgically altered noses, tan, muscles, big hair, obviously dyed hair, hair one has obviously spent hours on etc... and the women have no waist even when they are fit or thin, they are like g. bundchen with no waist (i know she's brazilian, but can't think of other examples) unless they are black.

this sounds terrible on paper but it doesn't mean american people don't look good... the aforementioned things aren't mostly bad at all but yeah... recognizable, let's put it that way.

nobody over 10 and younger than 80 would be caught dead with one of those on their head where i live (.i.e not usa).

is what i meant...

Very identifiably American looking.

More than looking: sounding. Why do Americans speak with their outdoor voice all the time? And the Wooohoooo shrieking?

That's a whole 'nother thread, R102, if you want to start it.

Funny thread. There are people who just looks just like the phenotype of their nation. For example: Can you look more Austrian than this guy??

Vivian Vance

r104, I would've tagged him as Scandinavian.

Ralph Lauren has a classic American aesthetic, when I see his ads.

That's what he's going for r107.

I know. He captured it.

Typical white american face: a blend of various european features, with heavy German admixture. It makes for a special kind of look, usually with a rather big head. In Europe you get to see the non blended versions.

With tiny pin heads.

R111 yes that would be the anglosaxon variant.

Biracial Americans are becoming the new look, since the races are finally mixing more.

R113 is Clinton Moxam

Farrah Fawcett, Heather Locklear, Jessica Simpson.

Trump is the perfect embodiment of the Ugly American. He’s a demagogue, but goofy-looking.

Very american look=Nordic. Ok I got it

My biology teacher in 5th grade told us that within 50 years, all Americans would be mixed race. It was just her opinion but little me took it as fact. It made sense.

Or rather, she described it as a new race, never seen before in the history of mankind.

James Dean

"Very american look=Nordic. Ok I got it"

It's certainly part of it, there are a lot of people here of Nordic ancestry.

Tiffany trump looks unfortunate. The worst of both parents.

What about trans women of color?

Jokes aside, it's frightening how segregated US American language and culture is, how everyone is judged by their skin color still.

When I think of the stereotypical All-American look, I still tend to think of the models they chose for the catalogs years ago.

Tan, smiley perfect teeth , fit. Hot to me . And yes I do realise that most are obese .... but that’s not the fantasy I’m after .

Me too R124.. lol.

Britney ❤️

Loni Anderson??

She's supposedly Jewish and a Wasp, she might actually be part black. Her natural hair color is black.

Loni looks African-American here

Loni with her real hair color.

Wow, Loni looks so much better as a brunette.

And those are her real, tiny, titties.

R131, you forgot to add...Burt, from the afterlife...

The “All- American boy next door” look is revered the world over. It’s undoubtedly the best. People may have momentary tastes for the exotic, but us Texas/California boys will always be considered the pinnacle.

His clothes/the style, maybe, but not the actual boy.

R104 He looks very Rolf from Sound of Music

[quote]Joseph Gordon-Levitt

He doesn't look very American AT ALL.

Will Smith

R143 He does, he has that vague "Is he Eurasian or just Irish, Jewish or Italian?" look. Keanu is another one:

R142 Taylor is the best looking version of the quintessential American Midwestern face. The center of the country looks like some version of this or some mix with this in it.

Zachery Levi is another one; the "is he ethnically Ashkenazi Jewish, Irish, Italian?" mystery grab bag mixes but always with a hint of mutt cuteness that makes American faces look nonthreatening sometimes. Do you know what I mean?

Gina Rodriguez. Wholesome looking.

Leonardo Dicaprio

Gretchen Mol. Has one of those "could be Swedish, could be Italian, could be Irish, could be Swiss, could be Polish" typical perky featured American faces.

Kevin Costner

Jaime Pressly. It's not an accident that she's made a career out of playing the quintessential white trash girl. Go into any bar in America and you'll see some version of this face staring back at you, thin or fat. Norwegian, Portuguese, Italian, Scottish, French, German? Who knows. It's the White American gruel of genetics.

Melanie Lynsky. Australian of Irish descent but looks like your classic apple-cheeked American Polack, with some Italian thrown in.

Phyllis Newman

All of these "white" people could be from Europe....

One of the classic American images is of the America cowboy

Christie Brinkley - the All-American blonde blue-eyed surfer girl all the guys in high school want.

“All American” to me was always a genre that basically embodied the 1940s and 50s. There may be an American fashion sensibility but featureswise, nope. We are far too variable. The Northeast, the South, the Midwest, the Pacific coast, the Mexican border all have a lot of regional variation with no homogenization. Maybe if we survive a century or two we will intermix enough to create a whole new national ethnic group made up of European, African, Asian and indigenous American types. That would be kind of cool.

Everyone complaining about Euro looking influence, what do you expect? Like 80+% of Americans have at least one European ancestor line. President Obama's Mother was of Irish ethnic heritage.

It's so weird for people to say we should just ignore this. Acknowledging something isn't making a value judgement, it's just acknowledging something. Stating the simple fact that 2/3 of Americans have some German heritage is not making a value judgement about that fact. So many people don't know how to think, anymore.

Don't get yourself in a huff, of course, people are a mixture.

But the faces could be mistaken for someone in Europe if we didn't know who they were. American-looking is a silly and stupid meme, there is no "American-looking", only the stereotypical images that is only associated to USA, like the American cowboy, the California surfer girl, the American Indian.

Sorry, but Taylor Hanson looks much more Scandinavian, Danish, Dutch than American.

R159 European faces look, frankly, more sophisticated. It's hard to explain but there's a cool precision about the features. Think Catherine Deneuve vs. American Yvette Mimieux (French sounding name but from California). Americans look more docile, more puppy doggish in comparison. I don't know if it's a whole bunch of old world looks mixed together but I think non-Americans know what I mean.

Question for the Dataloungers who live outside of the United States:

Is there a distinctive appearance between American Blacks, and Blacks who (might) live in your countries? For example, I know England and France have substantial Black populations. Can you tell the difference between them and Blacks who are from the United States?

British Tom Cruise.

Mia Wazikowaka. An Aussie but looks 100% Appalachian Bluegrass.

Josh Brolin

R173 Most black Americans (certainly not all, and it varies by region) are descended from West African ancestors and so many look typically Weat African with some European influences. Because of that whole slave rape history thing. People from different regions of Africa immigrate to different regions of the world. Lots of Algerians, for example, in France, and Algerian people look different than Nigerian and Ghanian people.

But “black American” varies. Many of my black friends have the standard slavery history and are mostly West and Central African, but here in DC we also have significant Ethiopian and Eritrean populations and they are quite distinct looking from black Americans who are descended from West Africans. And some black Americans look just like Nigerian immigrants, but others including their own family members may have lighter skin and generally more European influence expressed in their appearances.

Here’s a picture of Eritrean girls. Do they look like all black people in the U.S. to you? (I hope not!)

[quote]Mia Wazikowaka

Really? I think she gives off eastern European vibes. When I think Appalachia this is what I imagine:

I'm an America, and I appreciate hearing from the perspective of people who aren't. The comments about a more docile, or puppy look were eye opening and something I've never noticed before. Is this true accross the board for all the many races here in America, or do you find it's mostly the white Americans?

I'm an*American

DiCaprio doesn't look like the stereotypical American to me at all with his high cheekbones, pointy chin and hooded eyes. He takes after his mother who was born in Germany, but is at least half Russian. Some years back there were rumours that he wanted to star in a Lenin biopic, and lookswise he could definetely pull that off.

Harrison Ford, Warren Beatty or Chris Pratt have what I'd consider the stereotypical white American look. And Kris Humphries (half black from one side of his family) looks very American to me in that ambigue 'is he or is he not mixed?' kind of way.

And yes, when it comes to women, Americans seem to have a thing for bland blonde surfer girl types. As a European I don't get the appeal of the likes of Christie Brinkley, Farah Fawcett, Jennifer Aniston or Blake Lively AT ALL. Not that blonde women can't be stunningly beautiful, but the aforementioned are just absolutely beige imo.

Oh, and Lori Loughlin looks very American to me!

Thank you, r177.

These two.

All of the Brady Bunch

There are definitely a lot of brunettes that are all American looking, most just haven’t been mentioned here. Sally field, Mary Tyler Moore, Valerie Bertinelli. IT usually means pretty but in an accessible way.

Even though Faye Dunaway is from someone trashy part of Fla, she had that less accessible, chiseled cheekboned, European kind of beauty.

THeres definitely a difference.

Patty Duke "Billie"

Kevin Costner has the look. He got ridiculed when he played Robin Hood. He looked like an American and talked like an American.

Melissa McCarthy

Artie Lange

It used to be the "Far Out" guy from "Foul Play."

Now it's more like Logan Miller from "Love, Simon"

Jennifer Jason Leigh. She has that common American look, ash blonde or brunette, usually the hazel version of Brown, Blue, Gray or Green eyes, could be from a very old English Protestant family, could be Dutch, could be Evangelical Christian or could be Jewish with a Shiksa Mother. You can't really tell by looking at her.

The American "look" is really about that pan-European, pan-racial ethnic ambiguity but with a typical, "mutt" cuteness and more approachable features. That's why any American who holds racial or ethnic supremacist views of any kind is confirmation you're dealing with a Class A clown. Unlike populations in many regions of the World, most Americans have more than four different ethnic heritages and possibly have unknown racial ancestry, like Black or Native American (including Mestizo).

I think more Americans than not would be shocked to NOT find that, if they took a DNA test and didn't get a variety of markers back. It's not like a Japanese person whose family has only been in Japan for several generations finding out he has Finnish heritage, you know?

She's apparently ALL Jewish, but doesn't look it.

Elizabeth Shue looks very American or is it just THE TEETH?

"All American' looking Lynda Carter is Mexican/Spanish/French on her mom's side and English/Scottish/Irish on her dad's.

Most of this does not reflect reality. If you want to see real, average looking American people who are representative of the US population, then you need to go to grocery stores, big-box stores and chain restaurants and also at local news segments. This is an average, typical American family. I’m not making fun of them; this is just what actual American people tend to look like when they are not dreassed up.

A realistic, typical American family.

R204 Daphne Zuniga is another with an American look. like Lynda. Is she Latino? Is she Jewish? Is she Italian? Is she Greek? Is she part Chinese? You wouldn't know to look at her. She just looks "American".

If anything defines “American looking,” it’s mostly attire. Shirts tend to be oversized, with shoulder seams coming halfway down the arm, whereas in Europe, for example, clothes are more tailored. People tend to be oversized here, which I suspect has to do both with our frankenfood and our proclivity to drive everywhere. Probably across the board we have more cosmetically enhanced teeth, with braces and bleaching more likely to be seen as “necessary” to working class people than they would be seen by people of similar means in other countries. Among those who can afford it, I think fake breasts and bleached blonde hair are pretty distinctively American broadly speaking. Likewise, gigantic, overly built muscle men in oversixed tee shirts with fake tans anywhere in the world (except maybe Russia) might signal “American.” It’s a land of extremes—extremely high maintenance or else extremely casual and schlumpy.

R203 Yes, Shue is another one who has a face that yells: Common American Girl. Cornfed or Blue Blood, who knows? Catholic or Jewish, who knows?

Carla Cugino. That's a very American face, you don't really see that look anywhere else. Same with Mira Sorvino, also in "The Buccaneers" based on Edith Wharton's novel about American socialites in the 1870's marrying/bearding up for English aristocrats .

Kid Rock.

R210 That's interesting, because both Cugino and Sorvino are half Italian, half some sort of British mix(don't know exactly with Sorvino, her mother's maiden name is Davis)
